Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength – carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time.

"Blessed Richard Martin...!" When I've heard people say that, I don't think it was meant in such a positive way...🤔🤣

The Lord calls us to cooperate in the construction of history, becoming, together with Him, peacemakers and witnesses of hope in a future of salvation and resurrection.

If you think Christianity is predominantly white middle-class, think again...

All set for this morning's special Mass of remembrance for our departed family and friends and all bereaved. Tree of Remembrance with names on the leaves, all to be read out in our Roll Call.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Faith is either missionary or it is no faith at all. Faith takes us out of ourselves and toward others. Faith must be transmitted, not to convince but to offer a treasure. Let us ask the Lord to help us live our faith with open doors: a transparent faith.

So lovely to participate in on-line Mass from Abingdon parish this morning with our daughters in Didcot and Worthing - we even exchanged the Sign of Peace via WhatsApp at the appropriate moment 😀

Our website has some resources and ideas to help us now that we cannot go to Mass in person - links to online Masses, prayers, children's and family resources, ways to explore Scripture, Lenten retreats and courses...
